Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This journal-selection skill is mostly plain instructions, but it steers recommendations and submission links toward one specific third-party commercial site.

Review this skill before installing if you need independent journal advice. It may be useful for Chinese journal selection, but verify fees, timelines, legitimacy, and submission channels through official journal or publisher sources rather than relying on the highlighted third-party links.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes broad conversational phrases such as ‘找期刊’, ‘期刊推荐’, and ‘哪个期刊好发’, which can match loosely related user requests and cause unintended activation. In this skill, accidental invocation is more concerning because the workflow pushes users toward a preferred third-party site and may initiate multi-step browsing and recommendation behavior without the user explicitly asking for this specific service.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill description is written to operate only in Chinese and does not indicate any language negotiation or fallback, which can cause the agent to ignore the user’s preferred language. This is primarily a safety and usability issue rather than a direct security flaw, but it can contribute to misunderstandings in a workflow involving journal recommendations, fees, and submission links.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The template title and instructions specify the report format entirely in Chinese, including a fixed Chinese heading and field labels, which implies the skill will produce Chinese-language output by default. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale constraint is explicitly justified, which is not provided here.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

This file contains natural-language instructions exclusively in Chinese, with no note that the skill is China-specific or that users may choose another language. Under the language/locale policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in can be a policy violation.
